Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Overall Survival (OS)
From randomization (3 days prior to Cycle 1 Day 1) until death due to any cause (maximum up to 51.7 months)

Overall survival was measured from the date of randomization to the date of the participant's death.

Main Study: Percentage of Participants With Best (Overall) Objective Response
From Cycle 1 Day 1 up to 6 years 2 months

Percentage of participants with best (overall) objective response were reported. Best objective response is defined as the best (overall) objective response a participants achieved during the study in the order of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), progressive disease (PD), where CR and PR were confirmed as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. As per RECIST version 1.1, CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must had reduction in the short axis to less than (\<) 10 millimeters (mm). PR was defined as at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Responders are participants with BOR of CR or PR.

ArmTypeDescription
Cohort 1 (Arm 1A): ErdafitinibEXPERIMENTALParticipants will be screened based on Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitor Clinical Trial Assay (FGFRi CTA) to determine molecular eligibility and participants who meet molecular eligibility criteria will be eligible for full study screening. Participants enrolled in the study (treated with prior anti-programmed cell death protein PD-\[L\] 1 agent) will swallow erdafitinib tablets orally at a starting dose of 8 milligram (mg), once daily for 21 days in a 21-day cycle until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or decision by the investigator to discontinue treatment. Dose adjustment are based on phosphate level and observed toxicity (adverse events \[AEs\]). Participants who enter in Long-term extension (LTE) phase will continue to receive the erdafitinib tablet as per investigator's decision.
Cohort 1 (Arm 1B): Vinflunine or DocetaxelEXPERIMENTALParticipants will be screened based on FGFRi CTA to determine molecular eligibility and participants who meet molecular eligibility criteria will be eligible for full study screening. Participants enrolled in the study (treated with prior anti-PD-\[L\] 1 agent) will receive vinflunine 320 milligram per meter square (mg/m\^2) as a 20-minute intravenous infusion once every 3 weeks or docetaxel 75 mg/m\^2 as a 1 hour intravenous infusion every 3 weeks. Treatment with either agent (choice of investigator) will be administered until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or decision by the investigator to discontinue treatment. Dose adjustments are based on observed toxicities. Participants who enter in LTE phase will continue to receive Vinflunine or Docetaxel until the participant can commercially receive chemotherapy within the local healthcare system.
Cohort 2 (Arm 2A): ErdafitinibEXPERIMENTALParticipants will be screened based on FGFRi CTA to determine molecular eligibility and participants who meet molecular eligibility criteria will be eligible for full study screening. Participants enrolled in the study (no prior treatment with anti-PD-\[L\] 1 agent) will swallow erdafitinib tablets orally at a starting dose of 8 mg, once daily for 21 days in a 21-day cycle until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or decision by the investigator to discontinue treatment. Dose adjustments are based on phosphate level and observed toxicity (AEs). Participants who enter in LTE phase will continue to receive the erdafitinib tablet as per investigator's decision.
Cohort 2 (Arm 2B): PembrolizumabEXPERIMENTALParticipants will be screened based on FGFRi CTA to determine molecular eligibility and participants who meet molecular eligibility criteria will be eligible for full study screening. Participants enrolled in the study (no prior treatment with anti-PD-\[L\] 1 agent) will receive pembrolizumab 200 mg as a 30-minute intravenous infusion once every 3 weeks, until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or decision by the investigator to discontinue treatment. Dose adjustments are based on observed toxicities. Participants who enter in LTE phase will continue to receive the pembrolizumab until 2 years after the first dose of pembrolizumab (at start of study) or until the participant can commercially receive pembrolizumab within the local healthcare system, whichever comes first.
Erdafitinib (8 milligram)EXPERIMENTALPrior to interim analysis 1 (IA1), there were 2 treatment regimens: Regimen 1 (10 milligram \[mg\] once daily, 7 days on/7 days off); and Regimen 2 (6 mg once daily for 28 days). Following IA1, Regimen 1 is closed for further enrollment and starting dose of Regimen 2 is increased to 8 mg once daily for 28 days on a 28-day cycle (referred to as Regimen 3). Participants who enrolled in DDI substudy will receive pretreatment with single doses of midazolam (Day -2) and metformin (Day -1). Participants enrolled in DDI substudy will receive 8 mg erdafitinib treatment from Day 1 to Day 15, single doses of midazolam 2.5 mg (Day 13) and metformin 1000 mg (Day 14) and erdafitinib treatment will continued until disease progression. Participants who completed the DDI substudy and continue to benefit from erdafitinib treatment, will continue to receive erdafitinib in long-term extension (LTE) phase.
